Network Engineer (Cisco Meraki)

We are seeking a hands-on Network Engineer to support a large-scale migration from Cisco Meraki to Cisco Meraki Cloud Manage across a portfolio of hotel properties and select data centers. This is a configuration-heavy, project-driven engagement where you will provision and deploy new network infrastructure across multiple locations and coordinate closely with non-technical stakeholders to ensure migrations happen with minimal disruption and minimal downtime. You will also be ready to troubleshoot in real time as migrations unfold.

The team is a mix of senior engineers focused on project work and mid-level operational engineers; this role operates with a high degree of independence and a strong expectation of self-sufficiency. A growth mindset and willingness to learn on the fly are essential.

What You’ll Do

• Lead the configuration and provisioning of Cisco Meraki Cloud Managed network infrastructure across hotel properties and data center locations, migrating from existing Meraki environments with minimal downtime.
• Coordinate migration activities with non-technical stakeholders at property locations, communicating clearly and keeping all parties aligned throughout deployment.
• Troubleshoot network issues in real time during active migration windows, resolving problems quickly to protect uptime.
• Deploy new networks at property locations and support data center connectivity routes as needed.
• Follow and apply ITSM and ITIL-based change management processes when planning and executing network changes.
• Research, document, and maintain network configurations, policies, and technical standards.
• Operate with a high degree of independence; escalate thoughtfully and with awareness of senior engineer bandwidth.
• Participate in Cisco onboarding and workshopping sessions to deepen platform knowledge as the project evolves.

Required

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering, Network Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
• Advanced knowledge of switches, routers, and firewalls (Cisco ASA/FTD, Fortinet), and core security concepts including IOS, NEXUS, Arista, VPN, ACL, STP, and SNMP.
• Hands-on experience with Cisco Meraki and Cisco Meraki Cloud Managed networking; direct configuration and deployment experience is strongly preferred.
• Solid understanding of cloud networking fundamentals: VPCs, subnets, and routing tables.
• Hands-on experience with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools such as Terraform or Ansible.
• Familiarity with network monitoring and troubleshooting tools and best practices.
• Strong grasp of network security principles including ACLs, VPNs, and firewall management.
• Working knowledge of ITIL principles and ITSM frameworks, with practical experience applying change management processes in a network environment.
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to coordinate effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Strong self-sufficiency and a growth mindset; comfortable working independently and learning new tools or processes on the job.
• Ability to collaborate effectively across cross-functional teams in a fully remote environment; occasional travel to property locations may arise on an infrequent basis.

Preferred

• CCNA, CCNP, or equivalent networking certification.
• Experience with SD-WAN technologies.
• Exposure to automation frameworks and CI/CD pipelines.
• Experience in hybrid cloud networking environments.
• Familiarity with SolarWinds for monitoring, management, and scripting.
• Scripting experience in Python, Bash, or similar languages.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering, Network Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.
